Nike Launches the FlyKnit Lunar One

As the love-month begins its first day, Nike has made it more colorful as they launched their candy-bright yet gender-friendly colored shoe that is engineered right with the FlyKnit technology to give runners the perfect performance run in every stitch and every stride with the Nike FlyKnit Lunar1+.

Nike Flyknit Lunar1+ Collection

The Nike FlyKnit Lunar One was launched at Nike Park, Bonifacio Global City last February 1, 2013 through a 1.6-km test run made by guest runners and bloggers, and the feminine+masculine color-combination (imagine a pink and blue or pink and gray) of the shoe proved that it's not an embarrassing mix after all, even for a speeding runner.

What's more noticeable on the shoe aside from the new color combinations is its soft yet responsive cushioning that you can really feel in each stride. The FlyKnit Lunar1 also has a not so wide and not too narrow toe box that gives you a hugging-fit yet made comfortable by the knitted structure of the upper made possible by the FlyKnit technology - which in effect reduced the seams, weight, and areas of friction.

Nike Flyknit construction also eliminates the need for the multiple materials and material cuts used in the uppers of traditional sport footwear manufacturing. This revolutionary construction reduces waste by an average of 80 percent in the Nike Flyknit Lunar1+ when compared to typical Nike running footwear.

Nike Flyknit was created for performance in world-class marathon events, and many elite runners have crossed the finish line in the Nike Flyknit Racer, part of the first Nike Flyknit collection. The Nike Flyknit Lunar1+ expands the franchise to the everyday runner, offering a bright color palette to make sure runners look as great as they feel on the road.
